Tiffany Shlain and Ken Goldberg with their sculpture,Tree of Knowledge. The artists used pyrography to burn over nearly 200 historical questions that underlie our collective pursuit of knowledge into a 10,000-pound, salvaged Eucalyptus tree section.

An expanded version of the Ancient Wisdom exhibition includes twenty-plus artworks.
